Ingredients

12 wonton wrappers
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp wasabi paste (adjust to your spice preference)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 cup sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt
1 avocado, diced
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
1-2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Press the wonton wrappers into the cups of a muffin tin, creating a cup shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the muffin tin and set aside to cool.
In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with mayonnaise, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust the wasabi to your spice preference.
Gently fold in the cooked sushi rice and diced avocado, mixing well.
Spoon the shrimp and rice mixture into each baked wonton cup, filling them generously.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer milder heat, reduce the amount of wasabi paste or omit it entirely.
You can also add pickled ginger or a dash of sriracha for extra flavor.
If you don’t have wonton wrappers, you can substitute with tortilla chips or small pastry cups
